you know i was sick to death of star wars but the games they made in vr are extremely high quality. one of them is kind of like your standard star wars adventure: youre breaking into vader's compound, learn you have force powers, blast stormtroopers and lightsaber them. real cool stuff, but completely on rails. the other one is like a cover shooter with a few different more open locations, and in that one you fight cantina dirtbags instead of storm troopers...no lightsaber in that one sadly



funny when i remember playing a vr game i dont really remember playing it as a game. you know the book the giver? its kind of like that, like im remembering someone else's memories. wild.

Yeah I'll try hiring more dudes for base defense, I think it just hosed me because it was so early in the game I had spent all my money on scientists, I only had 14 soldiers and had lost 6 on a night terror mission and my tank so I only had 8 dudes to defend the base, all rookies

I actually never bothered with manufacturing stuff very much because OXC told me it was only generating like 300-400k a month or something and I was making millions a month off just selling plasma rifles and pistols and mind probes and poo poo so it just didn't seem to matter much, I never had money problems at all after the first month

Early game base defense after a night terror mission is probably the biggest overall challenge in the game when you factor in how weak you are at that point in the game and how consistently the game will throw the combo at you. The OG game iirc would sometimes throw you a base defense in like the 2nd week which, lol RIP, but I think openXcom made that rarer

There's stuff you can have them making that will make you serious money, but having your engineers making stuff for sale is at least as much about covering their upkeep and then a little on top, which means you can keep a whole lot on hand for when you do need something made fast. Once you have better stuff to make, it's about covering the cost of the scientists in the base as well. You can make a real killing just selling loot, especially on the harder difficulties, but it's unreliable and risky to get.

Also you can just touch down at a terror mission and then bail to take a much smaller points penalty for failing it compared to ignoring it, they can be really nasty and honestly the only reason I'm able now to do early game terror missions is because I'm in the habit of taking things slow, always moving in smoke, and kissing and hugging hi-ex all day every day

I vaguely remember the Star wars prequel RTS and yeah, sure. The Jedis are probably equivalent to dlc tier hero characters. It fits perfect.

Gotta wonder why they didn't just copy Nintendo directly and instead waited until they could copy Valve copying Nintendo

Maybe the lesson they took from Playstation Move was "poo poo Nintendo does isn't necessarily applicable to gaming at large" and the Steam Deck disproved it

Still plugging away at Hades. Picked up every keepsake except one. I've learned to appreciate the gun since pairing it with Dionysus' festive fog cast is really fun. Then again festive fog is easily my favorite cast in the game. Gotten another clear with the shield, the sword, and the gun as well.
